this person is a reporter?

Look either it's a serious accusation (in which case it is actually a serious error that Taylor attributed the comment to the wrong person) or it's not a serious accusation (in which case it's not a "scandal" and it's improper for reporters to try to make it into one.)
But this is the way a lot of tech industry coverage is conducted: Not merely aggressive and skeptical, as it should be, but treating tech companies and personalities as the enemy.
I understand that VCs and tech execs can be boosterish and thin-skinned (look at the way they talk about short-sellers LOL) but they're right that a significant chunk of the press hates their guts in a way that essentially personal and ideological.
Like so many problems in journalism today, this is ultimately a failure of management.
